A música Tiny Dancer foi inspirada pela primeira viagem de Bernie Taupin a América em 1970, especialmente pelas mulheres que ele viu na Califórnia. Elton John compôs a melodia. A música captura o espírito da Califórnia naquela época e a letra reflete as experiências de Taupin observando a vida cultural de Los Angeles.
